@Emne There are tons of programs and courses available which teach you how to get good at dating and flirting with girls. It's like learning a programming language. You just commit to learning it and follow the tutorials.

One of the best PUA friends I know is about that height. He is crazy good at attracting girls. He's like a sex mongoose. What girls care about most is your charisma and confidence. Not your appearance. You are projecting your caring about appearance onto girls. Girls don't think like you.

I've done over 30 trips. I have not noticed any improvements of the mind per se. I've gotten tons of insights. I've gotten lots of emotional growth. I've gotten a deconstruction of my conceptual matrix. I've gotten crazy depths of consciousness. I've gotten massive openmindedness. But no baseline improvement of memory or things like that. Yoga, visualization, contemplation, concentration exercises will have a better chance of improving your mind vs psychedelics. If you have memory problems, perhaps look into vitamins or nootropics and clean up your diet.

Good God! Enough of this nonsense. Western society is still highly patriarchal. The reason men are sexless is cause they sit around watching JP too much and playing video games all day. It's hard to have sex when you're sitting in your man-cave all day. What ever happened to taking responsibility for your sexlessness rather than blaming women and society for it? By Peterson's logic society should ban: TV Video games Internet Porn Virtual reality Smartphones Social media Nerd culture That would solve most of your sex problems. A real man doesn't blame women for his lack of development. Any guy can learn to get good with attracting women. But it takes inner work, and it requires going outside your man-cave and actually talking to women. RSD is really the practical solution to the male problems JP rants about. But of course then you've got all the problems that come with getting indoctrinated into RSD culture. Which I've already ranted about in the past. What would really solve this problem is if schools did a better job of teaching boys and girls how to interact with each other.

Both of them stuck in Orange materialist metaphysics without being aware of it:

Actualized.org's grand-pappy:

In an Spiral economics books I have been reading, Paul Volcker is cited as being a Yellow economist under Obama.

I do very much enjoy Sam's tirades against Trump. It's a guilty pleasure of mine He's very good at articulating the problems there because temperamentally, if Trump is matter, Sam is anti-matter.

Notice how flexible his mind is, and how he loves to play with ideas, like a child:

Because Green cares too much. It's all about finding the right balance. If a mother loves her son so much that she isn't able to let him go to school (because she wants him around the house all day) then she cares too much, and her care has become neurotic. To this mother we would say, "Stop caring about your son so much", to which she would reply, "So you want me to hate my son?! NEVER! You are a monster!" At which point we would say, "Sigh..."

That's why after LSD you upgrade to 5-MeO

Explained in Gamana's books. See my book list for details.

I use these terms interchangably.

That's exactly how you get enlightened masters who molest people, or are secretly greedy, or dogmatic, or can't run a biz, etc. There is a lot more to life than sitting in a cave. If all you plan to do is sit in a cave for the next 50 years, okay. But that is not what you will do. You will enter all sorts of complex interactions with people in a complex society. That's when shit will hit the fan.

"Time to upgrade to LSD." -- The Buddha

Rationalism, materialism, scientism, moralism, intellectual crusading, demonization of Islam, duality. Sam Harris is stuck playing the role of an intellectual. The lesser Jihad. All classic traps you should watch out for. Writing a book or talking about spirituality & meditation does not mean one is awakened or has a profound understanding of nonduality. If you're at stage Blue/Orange/Green, Sam Harris might be useful to you. Once you get beyond that, he will hold you back. There's nothing "wrong" with him. He is who he is.

@Bryan Lettner Sweet!

That's a concept

Oneness is a very tricky thing. Let's say you are not compassionate, does that mean you are less one? There is a danger of taking on "compassion" and "goodness" as truer than "hate" and "badness". But that just perpetuates the duality. The deepest levels of consciousness are beyond compassion, beyond human concerns, beyond being good. The distinction between love and hate must collapse in the end. The ultimate litmus test would be this: when you see great hate, are you still able to love? Does your compassion extend to the perpetrator as well as the victim? Or are you cherrypicking?

"valid" and "invalid" are also inventions of the human mind. The Truth is TOTAL. It includes Nazis, rape, murder, genocide, war, slavery, hate, racism, sexism, abuse, violence, theft, and a trillion other things. That's TRUTH. What I'm trying to do here is show you that you are cherrypicking the truth to suit your ego. Which is something you'll have to outgrow if you really want to reach liberation and peace. Truth and politics don't mix very well. Have you noticed? Have you wondered why that is?

Of course! Not just freedom of speech, but even self defense and the right to life. The truth is, you have no rights. All "rights" are just inventions of the human ego to make life easier for the ego in an otherwise brutal reality. The reason you value freedom of speech is because your ego wants to mouth off its agenda without being limited. Egos hate having their agendas limited in any way. It hinders the ego's survival ability. If we passed a law which said that I could rape your child, but you are forbidden to ever speak of it, not even in court -- that would be a huge problem for your ego.

"When it's not necessary" is a highly subjective call. The ego always finds it convenient to do unnecessary things. A person who does violence to another doesn't do it gratuitously. In his mind, he feels it is very necessary -- selfless even.

That's right, you can. Absolutely nothing is stopping you from doing that. Welcome to liberation

You understand -- right? -- that most of the evil done in the world is done by people fighting for their rights? Fighting for rights is ego 101. I know you don't, which is why I went out of my way to underscore that it is a survival issue. The ego is very sneaky. It loves to don the veil of devoting oneself to the "protection of others" when in fact you are devoting yourself to advancing your own egoic agenda. Devotion creates a self-righteous ego which then goes on to commit great atrocities. All great atrocities are done in the name of good, freedom, liberation, truth, rights, fairness, etc. What do you think terrorists and Nazi's are doing? They are trying to make the world a better place. "Make the world a better place" is ALWAYS relative to your ego! There is no such thing as an objectively good world. A good world for one group is a bad world for another group. Which is why conflict happens. Even if you think you can get all of mankind to work peacefully together, that is still mankind's collective ego. Who's to say that mankind is a good thing, and not a cancer in this universe? You? Mankind? Ha! Do you see the conflict of interest problem? This is very important to understand. Otherwise you will still be under the ego's influence. Consider: the only reason you care about mankind is because you identify with being mankind. That's your ego. If you were an ant, you wouldn't care about mankind at all. Nor would you care about slavery, human rights, or anything else of that sort. Your self-identification extends far beyond your physical body. You identify with all sorts of abstract self-images, like the image of "being a decent human being who fights for the rights of the weak and the poor against the oppression of the strong and greedy". That's YOUR self-image! It turns you on. You get off on it. Playing this role is an addiction.

Well... if you think about what a loop is very abstractly, it's a singular object which links back with itself via some backward, as yet unseen connection. So two ends which previously seemed separate are ultimately recognized to be one and the same. Try slowly drawing a circle and see what happens. Duality goes full-circle into nonduality The beginning and end are one.
